At some point in the near future (barring legislation to control it), the annoying buzzing of the mufflers of riced-out Japanese automobiles worldwide will sympathetically vibrate together, striking the resonant frequency of the Earth. Tectonically, the planet's shape will be induced to change from that of an oblate spheroid to an exact duplicate of the head of Mel Brooks. As people fall from the nose to the lips (about 300 miles down), they will be heard to yell "oy vey" even though many will not be Jewish. (Random college professor: "I support that hypothesis; I, for no apparent reason, also suspect that nude clones of W.C. Fields will be caused to form from bacteria in the mesosphere. Can YOU prove it won't happen?!")
Starring Madonna as the President, Lyle Waggoner as the Secretary of Defense, Al Roker as Jonathan Winters and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

[cackling voice, a la Tom Hanks' recent performance] Unless you guys (being the inner cabal of the clown posse) give in to my demands, I shall consider holding a short liesurely convocation around the experiencing of a single movie, to be held at my small abode (the aboveground residence, not the lead-shielded one). The film to be viewed would be one of the following:
Naked Lunch
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
Mondo Cane
Vampyres
Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm
(the first, you know, sports cinematography by Peter Suschitzky...)
My vote: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
Tragedy tomorrow; comedy tonight?
I was pulling for NL or ROSB, but the returns favor FORUM at the moment. Originally I wasn't serious about anything but NL, however I've just taken a look at available editions of FORUM and this one demands attention: Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers and a who's who of sixties Broadway talent certainly deserved a DVD rerelease, which has been out for some time. I'll probably throw some sheckels this way.
